Blues Crap IIprobably hints as much. The Oxford, Mississippi label exists to record old bluesmen--not respectfully, for the archives, but as if they were still capable of working an audience and making a bit of noise in the music business. Hence the jokey titles, occasional freakish mixes and, here, theKing Of The Hill-style cover art. The listener's feelings about all this will probably depend on his or her response to the label's artists. The nine on this sampler range from entirely convincing blues practitioners--R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough (hypnotic in "Meet Me in the City"), Robert Belfour, the unique Scott Dunbar--to more limited figures such as Asie Payton or Paul "Wine" Jones. If you don't know these bluesmen and haven't encountered the philosophy-in-action of Fat Possum Records, you should, and you could hardly do better than start here.--Tony Russell

Advantages: A good mix of songs Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework
...A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to.
I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-)
Housework vol1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie.
The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents...

Advantages: Brings back the good old days!! Disadvantages: None i can think of, could have had 3 CD's instead of 2 maybe
...Ministry of sound back to the old skool is a CD which I borrowed from a friend at work, bearing in mind he is only eighteen I didn't expect him to come up with this.
The CD cover is bright green with a bid yellow acid smiley on the front with the words back to the old skool written in white under the smiley.
Disc one is yellow and disc two is green making them easy to tell apart, im not sure which disc is my favourite so I shall start with the obvious one first. This is also quite strange for me I am so fussy when it comes to music I usually only like one out of the two CD's or maybe only a few songs on a particular disc, that's why I decided to write a review on this one, so bear with me and feel free to push me in the right direction if I make a total mess, as this will be the first music review I have ever done.
Disc one...
